In order to know what most of the major parties think about the uncertain state of the world, and Canada's place in it, you have to dig — really dig — to find it.

More than seven months after a brand new Royal Canadian Air Force helicopter suffered a hard landing on its first deployment to the Pacific, the Department of National Defence remains in the dark about the cause and cost of the collision.
The incident happened on the afternoon of Feb. 18 while the Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone helicopter was accompanying the frigate HMCS Regina and resupply ship Asterix near the start of the naval group’s six-month deployment from Vancouver Island to the Asia-Pacific region.

Dear Friend,
The RAF Benevolent Fund has today launched a major new campaign in its centenary year. We are urging the public to help us repay the debt we all owe to our RAF veterans and their families who are in need of help. In particular, we need to reach out to the National Service and World War Two veterans, before it's too late. They put on the uniform of our country when we needed them to, the least we can do is be there for them when they themselves need our help.
